Answer:

The smallest distance the student that the student could be possibly be from the starting point is 6.5 meters.

Explanation:

For 2 quantities A and B represented as

A\pm \Delta A and B\pm \Delta B

The sum is represented as

Sum=(A+B)\pm (\Delta A+\Delta B)

For the the values given to us the sum is calculated as

Sum=(2.9+3.9)\pm (0.1+0.2)

Sum=6.8\pm 0.3

Now the since the uncertainity inthe sum is \pm 0.3

The closest possible distance at which the student can be is obtained by taking the negative sign in the uncertainity

Thus closest distance equals 6.8-0.3=6.5meters

A major artery with a 1.7 cm2 cross-sectional area branches into 18 smaller arteries, each with an average cross-sectional area
Alex

Answer:

0.14

Explanation:

Flow rate is the volume flowing through a point at a particular time, in calcuing flow rate we have

Q= v*t

it in terms of Area, we have Q= A*v

Where A= area

v= velocity.

Solving the question , flow rate is constant then

A*v= constant

A(i) v(i)= A(f) v(f)

Where A(i)= initial area= 1.00cm^2

A(f)= final area= 0.400cm^2

V(i) and V(f) are the initial and final velocity respectively and the ratio of the two will gives us the factor

Substitute the values into the equation we have

1 V(i)= 4 V(f)

But we were told that the cross sectional area of 1.00cm^2 branches into 18 smaller arteries.

Then

1 V(i)=0.4 V(f)*(18)

1 V(i)=7.2V(f)

Then if we find the ratio of the velocity, we will get the factor.

V(f)/V(i)= 1/7.2

V(f)/V(i)=0.14

Hence, the factor of the average velocity of the blood reduced when it passes into these branches is 0.14

. How does the intensity of sunlight received affect Earth’s temperatures?
leonid [27]
When the sun's rays strike Earth's surface near the equator, the incoming solar radiation is more direct (nearly perpendicular or closer to a 90˚ angle). Therefore, the solar radiation is concentrated over a smaller surface area, causing warmer temperatures.
